once your basic needs are satisfied
you can achieve happiness
simply by changing your opinion
and the best way to change
your opinion is to read
and the best thing to read
to change your opinion
is a short honest poem
and the best short honest poems
for changing your opinion
could be mine,
but they are not.

andy sent me a link
how to be a philosopher.
i can do more than half
of what that link suggests
and in my opinion
that is enough.
